The calculator only calculates for 48 months of benefit that is claimable. I have been contributing to UIF for the past 15 years without claiming and would like to know if that would be taken into concideration when the payments are calculated.

Hi , please help me here. In 2009 i worked in a company for 5 months then my site contract ended.
When it was ended i was given a certificate of service. I haven’t claimed my UIF untill this date.
My question is , if i take my payslip and the certificate of service to the UIF department to claim for my UIF will i get it or it will be regected because i spent a long time without claiming?

Hi
I am planning to go on ano unpaid leave end of July. The thing is i get paid by basic and commission and last week i was informed that my basic is falling away and as of end of May i will be earning on commission only. I have been with the current company for 9 months now and for a year with the previous company. Will i still qualify to claim uif?

I just need some advice. I don’t quite understand the 4 years story. I was retrenched in 2010 and last year claimed my UIF. I started working again but was retrenched again last month. Can I claim my UIF?

I just wanted to confirm: I resigned from permanent employment wef January 2010, but have recently worked on a fixed term contract that has now ended. Am I correct in assuming that I can take all months that I have been contributing UIF over the last 4 years into account, regardless of the employer? Ie I can claim for ca 20 months at my previous employer plus the time spent on the fixed term contract?

Hi Am claiming my maternity uif, I ve changed companies in the last 4years because of contracts ending,will I get my maternity uif for the last job that I worked at? Which I worked for 7months! And how do I use the calculator if I earned different sal in this 4yrs. TIA

I have been working from July 2007 and then was made permanent November 2007 and ever since worked as a permanent employee. I will be going on unpaid maternity leave from 19 July. How would I calculte my estimated pay during the my unpaid leave as my salary increased annually during my working years.

I typed in the amount of months I worked and my gross earnings, the amount given by the calculator is not what i got on my first payment. It is not a double payment either. The calculator is not correct, what i got and what the calculator says differs with more than a R1000.
